Coffee & Content: How To Hook A Reader With Your Screenplay

Coffee & Content: How To Hook A Reader With Your Screenplay

Happy Sunday, Creative Army!
Have you had a creative weekend so far? I have some content here for you that is sure to get the creative juices flowing, so grab your coffee, and let's dive in.
First up, in this video from StudioBinder, you'll get an overview of how to grab your script reader quickly so that they don't want to put your script down. You have such a short window to win over an executive, those early pages are crucial for making an impact. And while this video gives a great intro on the topic, it won't tell you if YOUR SCRIPT can hook your reader. For that, you can have a professional read the opening of your script (and further on if they like it!) with the First 10 Page Review and you can learn more about this topic from a studio professional who has actually worked on dozens of notable films through Stage 32 Education here.
Next up, in this video from Nur Niaz Films, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at commercial filmmaking and producing. You might not have dreamt of growing up and becoming a commercial film director or producer, but many many industry creatives can support themselves and their passion projects by also working in the lucrative world of advertising. And for those just entering the production world, working on a commercial set is a great way to gain experience and connections, so it's definitely a part of the industry worth knowing and considering.
